Patent GB-191015403-A (GB)
Title: Improved Brake Mechanism for Railway Vehicles.
Inventor: ALMOND WILLIAM JONATHAN CHARLE
IPC: B61H11/02
Filed: 1910-06-27
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 15,403. Almond, W. J. C., and Opie, J. A. June 27. Force-transmitting mechanism.-In railway-vehicle brakes which are applied by displacing in opposite directions a duplicate set of longitudinallymovable buffer - rods which extend throughout the train, the buffer-rods engage directly with opposite ends of levers mounted on transverse brake shafts, and also serve as draw-bars. The Figures show such a pair of rods c, f, which engage at the centre of the vehicle the opposite ends of a cross lever i secured to the centre of a shaft h mounted in fixed bearings. The shaft h further has secured to each end a cross-bar k, the opposite ends of which are connected to the brake hangers o by brake rods l, n having interposed springs m. The rods n have a slotted connexion, as shown in Fig. 4, with cross-bars p connecting pairs of brake hangers o, in order to provide the necessary lost motion when the brakes are applied. The application is effected from the engine or brake van by moving the rods c, f in opposite directions, so as to rock the shafts h, by means of lever mechanism or fluid pressure. If one of the brake rods l, n becomes broken, the brakes are applied by the unbalanced springs m. The rods c, f are mounted in bearings which allow longitudinal sliding for a short distance ; and provision is made for buffer and draw springs in suitablyarranged boxes.

Title: Improvements in Air-distributers for Fish-tanks, Baths and the like.
Inventor: WEBER-STIERLIN ERNST
IPC: A01K63/04
Filed: 1910-07-19
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 17,192. Stierlin, E. Weber-. July 19. Fish tanks.-A device for distributing air in the water of fish-tanks, baths, &c., consists of two co-axial pipes 1, 2, of which the pipe 2 is closed at both ends, while the pipe 1 is closed at one end, the other end being connected to the air supply. The space between the pipes is filled with animal hair or fibre, preferably in layers. The air leaves the pipe 1 through slots 8, passes through the animal hair or fibre, and leaves the pipe 2 through slots 9 so arranged that the path of the air through the space between the pipes is a maximum. The air is supplied by means of a water-jet blower, in which is placed a spiral spring or like device in order to spray the inflowing jet and thus prevent the escape of the arrested air.

Title: Improvements in Box Covering Machines.
Inventor: NASMITH JOHN WILLIAM
IPC: B31B15/00
Filed: 1910-12-12
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 28,857. Nasmith, J. W., and Stevenson, A. H. Dec. 12. Machines for turning-in and pressing to a box the edges of a band that has been applied to the sides and ends, of the kind provided with four pairs of rollers carried on slides opposite the sides of the box. The box is placed on a table 3, Fig. 2, and the slides are moved towards it by means of the projections 33 and a rotating cam 40, until bars 32 contact with the box. One pair of slides then come to rest, but. the inward motion of the other pair continues, compressing the springs 31, and allowing the rollers 7, 8, 9, 10 to turn in, and press to the box, the projecting edges of the covering- band. The continued motion of the cam then moves all the slides outwards; and inwards again until the bars 32 again contact with the box, whereupon the slides carrying the rollers 7, 8, 9, 10 stop and the other pair continue their motion, so that their rolls attach the band on the remaining sides. All the slides are then withdrawn. In order that boxes of different sizes may be dealt with, the upper rollers are carried between arms 14 adjustably mounted on spindles 15 carried by brackets 17 adjustable on uprights 18, and the lower rollers are carried between adjustable fingers 26 on a rod 27. The upper rollers may be carried between claws 82, Fig. 6, pivoted to pins 83 on arms 84 and acted on by springs 90. In a further modification,. in order to allow the rollers to fit into the corners of the box, they are made in three parts, the end portions 97, Fig. 7, turning on the large ends of pins 96 screwed into the ends of the supporting-arms, and the central portion turning on the reduced ends of'the pins. For small boxes, the rollers may consist of two portions 97 only, the supporting-arms being'then placed close together at the centre of the roller. The rollers may also be set at an angle to the edge of the box, and in the case of a fullycovered box, the bottom rollers may be dispensed with. The rods 32 are removable so that they can be replaced by others of different lengths. The inward movement of the rods 32 is limited by cross-bars 36 and adjustable stops 37. After the box covering has been attached, the box is ejected. The cam 40 is driven through a shaft 45 provided with a one-revolution clutch 80 and makes half a revolution for the complete cycle of operations. Towards the end of this time, a projection 52 on a disk 51 acts on a lever 53 to put into gear a one-revolution clutch on a shaft 48, on which is secured a disk 55. A link 56 then operates a three-armed lever, and a rod 62 raises the table 3, while a lever 66 is moved to extend a spring 68, until a set-screw 75 lifts a latch 72, when the spring pulls an arm 70 forwards, thus causing a rod 76 to move a plunger 77 to eject the box from the table. If desired, means may be provided to lock the rod controlling the clutch 89 while the ejecting-mechanism is operating, to prevent absolutely the roller mechanism from being operated.

Title: Improvements in Electro-magnetically Operated Collectors for Electric Railways.
Inventor: SHEEHY HARRY WADE
IPC: B60L5/38
Filed: 1911-05-15
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 11,740. Sheehy, H. W. May 15. Electrically operated from vehicle.-Relates to electro-magnetically operated collectors for electric railways, and is particularly designed for use in controlling the switch points from the vehicle. The trolly collector 24 is carried at the end of a rod 13 attached to the movable armature 9 of an enclosed electro-magnet 1. The armature is shaped as a hollow cap with 'flanges 10, which, in fitting the parts together, are passed between flanges 4 or the magnet casing 1 and afterwards rotated so that the cap is locked against complete removal. The vertical position of the rod 13 is variable by setting the pin 16 in different holes 17. A spring 15 mounted in a barrel screwed into the casing of the electro-magnet normally keeps the armature 9 against the retaining-flanges and the collector 24 off the rail. Either of two similar magnets can be energized by a two-way hand switch 32, the armature being then attracted downwards so as to engage one of the contactrails.

Abstract: 18,193. Nitsch, S., and Winterstein, F. Aug. 7, 1911, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Paraffin, purifying by sweating. A plant consisting of a number of sweating-chambers each provided with a heating-coil and arranged for a series circulation of hot air together with means for putting any desired chamber out of the hot air circuit, is operated in such manner that the chamber through which the air first passes is heated to its maximum extent, thus melting the paraffin and heating the air; while the remaining chambers are used as sweating- chambers and are heated solely by the air from the first chamber, the air being progressively cooled and finally passing from the last chamber to a chimney or other exhaust device. When the wax in the first chamber has been melted out, the steam is cut off from its heating-coil, the trays are filled with wax, and the chamber is allowed to cool by allowing cold air to enter. The air thus heated passes to the next chamber which now becomes the first chamber in the hot air circuit; the chamber which was previously being charged and cooled becoming the last in the circuit. The chambers are arranged in a circle and are each provided with suitablyvalved pipes for leading the air to the next chamber or to the chimney.
